"Epathetic", "provocative", "sensational" - such epithets for two centuries accompanied by critics' reviews of the novel by English writer Matthew Gregory Lewis "The Monk", which when published in the spring of 1796 in an instant became a bestseller and the cause of a loud public scandal. The story of the Spanish Capuchin monk Ambrosio - the new Faust, the victim of the devil's wiles and destroyer of other people's lives - brought the twenty-year-old author controversial fame immoralist, godless and at the same time the creator of the Gothic novel-tragedy, anticipating the plot collisions of romantic literature. This edition also includes a variety of novellas, which are both original creations of M. G. Lewis and his translations or arrangements of books by German authors. These fascinating works, in which the hand of the master is unmistakable, are translated into Russian for the first time. Also for the first time in Russia, the texts are accompanied by numerous illustrations by English, American and French artists of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
